About 17 Christmas Lane

17 Christmas Lane is a four-bedroom detached house in High Halstow, Rochester, Rochester (ME3 8SN). It has a recorded floor area of 137 m² (around 1477 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1900-1929 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (April 2009) shows an E (score 44), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The recommended improvements would push it to D (score 60).
